“LAS PANCHITAS” 8345 N. Lake Tahoe Blvd. Kings Beach, CA
Review by: Barney Bathroom

If I wanted canned food I could have went down to the local food shelter or just raided my grandma’s old food closet full of dusty food containers and weebles. This place might as well of had a bum rub his armpit all over my enchiladas. I didn’t come up to the Lake Tahoe area during the winter time to eat at a Mexican restaurant that uses canned enchilada sauce, canned refried beans, and charge for extra chips and salsa. If I’m going to get charged for seconds on the chips and salsa than at least make the enchilada sauce and refried beans from scratch rather than getting them from Play-Doh containers. I’m not an idiot! I can tell when I’m eating canned food! Might as well go ahead and give me Montezuma’s Revenge. If you go to a Mexican restaurant and they don’t have whole beans, but they do have refried beans than something is terribly wrong. To make refried beans you need whole beans, so if a place doesn’t have whole beans, but has refried beans than they’re fucking you over and should not be labeled as authentic cuz they’re getting that shit from a can!

Las Panchitas… You’re a disgrace to all Mexican food! You’re a disgrace to the snow outside! You’re a disgrace to canned Rosarita Traditional Refried Beans! You’re a disgrace to the dog you murdered for the ground beef you put in my enchiladas. Authentic Mexican food my ass! The only thing that was authentic was the server who couldn’t even understand what I ordered. A number 1 with beef you fuckin’ piece of shit! I’m not making any weird requests, so how is it that my order still got fucked up? I guess the server was too busy counting how many chips I ate. Fuckin’ tortilla chip pimps whoring out their chips! I don’t pay for sex, so I shouldn’t have to pay for chips with my God damned Mexican food! Chips and salsa are supposed to be complimentary! Fuckin’ chip Nazis!

I’ve eaten here many times. Las Panchitas’ food used to be great! I don’t know what the hell happened to this place. Maybe they got in trouble for cooking Tijuana kids. To tell you the truth, I’d rather chomp on a cholo child taco than all this canned food they served me. This place has the worst Mexican food in the Lake Tahoe area. Las Panchitas does not "keep Tahoe blue;" it floods this clean crystal clear lake with shitty refried beans! Make sure you stay away from this green canopied shit house! Instead go across the street and eat at Jason’s; that place is fuckin’ grub!
